(It probably had a glossary but I didn't get that far). Otherwise it was a good read.
I understand what you are saying. On the other hand I guess because he goes so deep as to disect exactly how he heard from God in each even. Almost like a disection, it would be hard not to use jargon. I am sure most of the words he uses are biblical.
His heart is that he wants to help equip as many people as possible in hearing God and doing prophetic and power evangelism. It seems we are so fat as a church with head knowledge, but skinny on the practicalities of actually moving in the Spirit. Thank God that there are a few people around now who actually know how to freely give what God has given them. You are not gonna get it from hearing someone talk at you for two hours, but actually doing it.
I quite often complain to God because he gives me jargon and words I wouldn't use, in words of knowledge. I have learnt a lot from that though.
An example is I was praying for one Christian for the baptism in the Holy Spirit and God said "Orphan spirit", then I heard that he wasn't receiving because he was beating himself up, because he didn't think he'd forgiven his mum cause of how he was treated growing up.
